Most Helpful Positive Review Amazing product. Hi, I am 26yrs old and have suffered from acne/spots and oily/combination skin since 16/17yrs old, having tired many different products and always changing to find one that works well. Since discovering upcircle through a subscription box, I received samples this was the coffee face scrub, herbal blend, face serum and body scrub peppermint. However, my review is based on coffee face scrub, herbal blend. I have used this for 2 weeks (with the face serum afterwards) and the difference in my facial skin is incredible. My skin feels smoother and soft to touch, a lot less oily and no spots have appeared since using the face scrub. My complexion is brighter and clean looking. Also, the face scrub does not leave your skin red or sore after use, if you have tired face scrubs in the past you will know most leave the skin red with new breakouts appearing. I would highly recommend the face scrub, you will not regret the decision buying this product. This is now a must have product for myself.
Most Helpful Critical Review I don't know if I like it I really can't tell if I like it or not. I'm not a big fan of coffee, smell or taste, but I saw this product had amazing reviews and I'm always looking for new products to battle my oily skin.
So, the reasons I'm not ecstatic with it are the smell and the abrasiveness. To me, the smell is that of burnt synthetic coffee. I've used it three days now and am slowly getting used to it but it's also very abrasive. Like washing your face with coffee grounds and sand. I might be doing something wrong but when I was it off my face does feel better? Until I'm spending an extra 5 minutes making sure I've removed all the extra coffee grounds from my face I might've missed.
I do like the product because it does help my skin. It feels smooth and soft as warm butter after washing and it stays that way without excess oil for a good bit. Usually my skin is back to 'yuck' around mid afternoon and this stuff definitely keeps me dry for longer. I'm definitely going to keep trying the product but if you have sensitive skin I might try something less abrasive.

I was so excited to try this scrub but didn't live up to the hype! It smells like old coffee first of all, and leaves your skin feeling gross! Almost like I left a balm on my face! I gave it 2 stars just because it did exfoliate pretty well.
UH MAZING!!! 5
Jenn from New Jersey
This isn't for skin that doesn't like an abrasive scrub. It's thick & gritty! Leaves an amazing almost balmy texture on skin. I'm 44 and SO GLAD I I found this product. I am definitely sticking with it for a long time to come!!!
Smells HORRIBLE 1
Nikki from 13905
I got this product as a gift and i'm a junkie for facial scrubs and exfoliant so I was super excited to try! As soon as I opened it, the smell of coffee grounds is SO strong. But it also smells like musty cigarette and old leaves. I couldn't get past it. As soon as I started washing it off, I was horrified to feel a thick oily layer (almost like a stick of butter had been slathered on my face) and as someone with oily skin, I knew I was in for it. It look me 2 more rounds of face washing with other products and water to get that feeling off my face. I already know I'm going to break out. The smell is absolutely wretched and it's so harsh. I really have no idea how it has so many good reviews !!!
A good product but can be a little harsh 4
Yami from Chicago, Illinois
I love this product to exfoliate once a week. I believe it is to intense to use more than that a week. If you have really sensitive skin maybe skip out on this product. But otherwise I love how smooth my skin feels after I use it.
Smells 3
Kenna from Washington
I had high hopes for this. The product itself isn't terrible. I thought this was gonna smell like coffee but to me it just smelled like chemicals. If you have sensitive skin this may not be for you.
Smells horrible! 1
Dee from NY
This product stinks, is too abrasive and is not for anyone with sensitive skin or normal skin for that matter. Use on your face at your own expense . If you face is like sand paper naturally , have at it!
Great scrub! 5
Momof3 from NJ
I have used this scrub for about 2 weeks. I have noticed my skin is smoother and less oily. It does leave your akin a bit oily at first but my skin is much more moisturized. I love coffee so I do love the smell and would recommend using this if you have oily or combination skin.
Product is great, packaging isn't 3
Ninexspoiled from Houston
I love this scrub, although it does leave an oily residue on my face. My issue is with the packaging. The tube is so rigid and hard to squeeze, I feel like I'm losing a lot of product in the process. If they switched to a more malleable tube, I'd repurchase it.
Way too abrasive 1
Cm from Colorado
This scrub has great review but is way too harsh of an exfoliant. I have used many different types of exfoliants and this one was terrible, the coffee grounds were too large and felt like it was over exfoliating my skin, left it feeling tight and not moisturized. Bummer.
Yesss to coffee! 4
Tracy from Portland Or
Love this ! Ive used it for two weeks and i my skin it looking and feeling smooth. I enjoy the smell of coffee so this is super relaxing to me, i tend to use this before a bath or a shower since its a bit messy to work with thats the only reason I give it a 4 star because its been a mess to handle but I keep it in on a tray and tightly sealed. Love this though!

Herbal coffee facial scrub 5
Katie P. from Undisclosed
This is the best facial scrub i have ever used.Its amazing because it doesnt leave your skin dry and scraped to death! It actually leaves your skin silky smooth AND moisturized but not greasey. My skin feels like velvet after using it. The smell is just gorgeous! Its a subtle coffee scent thats rly pleasant and relaxing to use in the shower.The metal key that you can buy to use with it is fab!! Its definitely a must for making sure you use all the product inside and it looks trendy aswel!

Have used and love this product a couple of times now and my skin feels great.
Great scrub! 5
Erica M. from Undisclosed
Love this product! Bought with a clear conscience due to Up Circle's environmental credentials. Smells lovely! Cleanses the skin beautifully without drying it out (unlike many other acne scrubs I've tried). Skin is noticeably clearer and fresher whilst being nicely moisturised. Will definitely buy again.
Love this! 5
Jemma B. from Undisclosed
I love this!! After I've used it my skin feels brand new. Soft and supple, revitalised. I've only been using Up Circle products for the last 4 months, I wouldn't use anything else now.
Love this product! You will 5
Jojo K. from Undisclosed
Love this product! You will not be disappointed, leaves my skin feeling sooo soft & revived! Fabulous sustainability and ethics behind the Up Circle brand. :green_heart:
In love with this product! 5
Camilla L. from Undisclosed
I have struggled with acne type 2 (moderate) for many years now which means that I have to choose my skincare products very carefully in order not to upset my sensitive skin. I have been using this scrub for around 3 weeks now and I just love how cleansed and hydrated my skin looks after each use. It is not aggressive at all and the bitterness of the coffee mixed with the sweetness of the oils and herbs gives it the most peculiar smell. I'll definitely give a try to other UpCircle Beauty products soon, perhaps the body scrub will be my next purchase!
Magic in a little tube :) 5
Evelin P. from Undisclosed
I have oily combination and sensitive skin with large pores. I use the scrub 3-4 times a week and my skin feels clean, refreshed, moisturised, pores much less visible! No need to apply lotion or cream after.
Soooooo good! 5
Jilly from Undisclosed
I am in the process of replacing all my skincare with ethical and cruelty free products and Came across Upcircle. Oh my goodness this is soooo good. Smells wonderful and my skin feels so soft and glowing after use. Definitely a firm favourite and plan on working my way through the rest of their products :)
Thank you! 5
Heather W. from Undisclosed
To have a face scrub that helps my oily combination skin from breaking out, doesn't run out quickly, as well as being made by a conscious, vegan company AND at an actual decent price is amazing.
Gentle for skin and smells beautiful! 5
Beth H. from Undisclosed
Really lovely smelling scrub! I've never found one gentle enough for my skin but I now use this 2-3 times per week as part of my self care routine...my skin is feeling lovely :blush:
